US MARINE IN FIRST SAME-SEX MARRIAGE PROPOSAL IN THE WHITE HOUSE

U.S. Marine Corps captain Matthew Phelps made history this weekend by proposing to his partner Ben Schock inside the White House.
It is the first time a gay marriage proposal has ever been made in the US President's home.
'Such a special night surrounded by wonderful people in an amazing place, and the best is still yet to come,' Phelps wrote on his Facebook page.
'Thanks for all the wonderful greetings and messages, and thanks to Barack Obama and Michelle Obama for lending us your home for the occasion!'
After a photo of the historic proposal was shared by the American Military Partner Association, it was subsequently distributed and shared by millions across multiple social networks.
'Ben and I are blown away by the amazing love and support we have received," Phelps wrote in a follow-up post.
'Thank you all so much for sharing in our joy and our lives.'
